White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson

5.0

I chose this book as part of my own "Educated Allies" series. It's a difficult read, one that made me gasp, cringe, grieve, and think. Anderson provides a clear and fact-based understanding of the history of systematic racism in the US (education, housing, voting rights), and helps me better understand what is STILL happening today. "It is time to rethink America," she writes in the epilogue, and I agree. Much of it is chilling, yet so important to know so that we can do better. "This is when we choose a different future," she writes. We can. Let's start now. Highly recommend.
